Councilor describes regional 911 improvements and composting pilot through ACOG
Summary
A council member summarised work with the Association of Central Oklahoma Governments (ACOG) on a regional 911 strategic plan and a USDA-supported composting and food-waste reduction pilot the council discussed during budget meetings.
A council member updated colleagues on regional initiatives discussed at a recent budget meeting, including development of a regional 911 strategic plan and a USDA-supported composting and food-waste reduction pilot being explored by the Association of Central Oklahoma Governments (ACOG).
The council member said ACOG is developing a 9-1-1 vision and a regionalization strategy to improve emergency communications center efficiency. "They're developing their 9-1-1 vision and strategic plan for improved operations and then right along with that development of a 9-1-1 ACOP regionalization strategy to enhance the efficiency of the ECCs," the council member said.
The speaker described the region's role in next-generation 911 technologies that can pinpoint callers' locations to within roughly 6 to 10 feet in many cases and said the region has been a leader in deploying such capabilities.
The council member also described a potential multi-year USDA composting and food-waste reduction program being designed as a regional pilot, and said ACOG hopes it might become a model for Oklahoma. "They're hoping it might become the model program for the state of Oklahoma," the council member said.
The remarks were part of council comments and informational updates rather than an action item; no formal vote or funding decision was recorded in the provided transcript excerpt.
